MUSCLE MAKER, INC, a California corporation (the “Company”), is offering up to 3,076,920 shares (“Shares”) of its common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), at a fixed price of $3.25 per share of Common Stock, with an aggregate amount of $9,999,990, in a “Tier 2 Offering” under Regulation A (the “Offering”). There is no minimum number of Shares that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for this Offering to close. The minimum investment amount per investor is $455 (140 shares of Common Stock); however, we can waive the minimum purchase requirement on a case to case basis in our sole discretion. The subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable.

 

   

 

 

TriPoint Global Equities, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), has agreed to act as our managing selling agent (the “Managing Agent”) while Cambria Capital, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and a member of FINRA, is acting as lead selling agent (the “Lead Agent” and together with the Managing Agent, the “Selling Agents”) to offer the Shares to prospective investors on a “best efforts” basis. In addition, the Selling Agents may engage one or more co-selling agents, sub selling agents or selected dealers. The Selling Agents are not purchasing the Shares, and are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of the Shares in the Offering. The Selling Agents and other broker dealers will receive compensation for sales of the securities offered hereby at a fixed commission rate of 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, however this commission rate will be reduced to 4% for any proceeds received from investors introduced by the Company to the Selling Agents. See “Plan of Distribution” in this Offering Circular. None of the Shares offered are being sold by present security holders of the Company.

 

We expect to commence the sale of the Shares as of the date on which the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part is declared qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”). The Offering will terminate at the earlier of: (1) the date at which $9,999,990 of Shares has been sold, (2) the date which is one year after this Offering being qualified by the SEC, or (3) the date on which this Offering is earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Termination Date”).

 

In addition, we have engaged WhoYouKnow LLC, a California limited liability company, d/b/a CrowdfundX (“Offering Campaign Consultant”), to assist us in the planning, public relations and promotion of this Offering, utilizing the BANQ Online Platform.

 

No public market currently exists for our shares of Common Stock. We intend to apply for quotation of our Common Stock on the OTCQX Marketplace under the symbol “MMB” after we register our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), following qualification of the Post-Qualification Offering Amendment No. 2 by the SEC. There is no assurance that our Common Stock will be registered under the Exchange Act or that our Common Stock will be accepted for quotation on the OTCQX Marketplace under the symbol “MMB” after the qualification of the Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 2 by the SEC.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we will be subject to reduced public reporting requirements. See “Emerging Growth Company Status.”
